Faith as Discussed (Now) on Whitehouse.gov |
|
Faith
In June of 2006, then-Senator Obama delivered what was called the most important speech on religion and politics in 40 years. Speaking before an evangelical audience, then-Senator Obama candidly discussed his own religious conversion and doubts, and the need for a deeper, more substantive discussion about the role of faith in American life.
Senator Obama also laid down principles for how to discuss faith in a pluralistic society, including the need for religious people to translate their concerns into universal, rather than religion-specific, values during public debate. In December 2006, President Obama discussed the importance of faith in the global battle against AIDS.
===================================
Hmmmmmm, I wonder if there's a chance to do away w/ the Department of Faith Based Iniatives?
Wouldn't that be too sweet!
An administration that focuses on its faith in the American people, not on what faith does or does not mean in regard to what a person does or does not believe.
Take government out of church, have faith in America once again!
